Synopsis

Master Java EE design pattern implementation to improve your design skills and your application’s architecture

Professional Java EE Design Patterns is the perfect companion for anyone who wants to work more effectively with Java EE, and the only resource that covers both the theory and application of design patterns in solving real-world problems. The authors guide readers through both the fundamental and advanced features of Java EE 7, presenting patterns throughout, and demonstrating how they are used in day-to-day problem solving.

As the most popular programming language in community-driven enterprise software, Java EE provides an API and runtime environment that is a superset of Java SE. Written for the junior and experienced Java EE developer seeking to improve design quality and effectiveness, the book covers areas including:

• Implementation and problem-solving with design patterns
• Connection between existing Java SE design patterns and new Java EE concepts
• Harnessing the power of Java EE in design patterns
• Individually-based focus that fully explores each pattern
• Colorful war-stories showing how patterns were used in the field to solve real-life problems

Unlike most Java EE books that simply offer descriptions or recipes, this book drives home the implementation of the pattern to real problems to ensure that the reader learns how the patterns should be used and to be aware of their pitfalls.

For the programmer looking for a comprehensive guide that is actually useful in the everyday workflow, Professional Java EE Design Patterns is the definitive resource on the market.

From the Back Cover

Solve Real World Problems Using Java EE Design Patterns

Patterns are essential design tools for Java developers. Even though Java EE provides default implementations for many “classic GoF” patterns, most experienced developers underestimate the value of these out of the box implementations. Professional Java EE Design Patterns helps developers attain better code quality and progress to higher levels of architectural creativity by examining the purpose of each pattern and demonstrating its implementation with various alternative code examples.

Beginning with the most common Gang of Four patterns and progressing to newer patterns, you’ll rediscover their classic form and then learn their Java EE specific implementations via in depth discussion and code samples. Patterns are brought to life through good and bad war stories, sometimes funny, sometimes frustrating but always illustrative of the principles at stake.

With Professional Java EE Design Patterns you will:

• Learn how Java EE offers implementation of many patterns through annotations and a cleaner programming model than J2EE
• Implement key patterns using Java EE including Façade, Singleton, Factory, Decorator, Observer, Dependency Injection, and Model View Controller for web applications
• Master Java EE coding approaches including Aspect Oriented Programming, Asynchronous Programming, and Restful Web Services
• Learn what happens when good patterns go bad and how to avoid common pitfalls
• Learn when patterns are not the answer, why that is, and what to use instead
